If the winter blues have got you down-and-out, there is hope. Spring may be right around the corner. According to a USA Today article published on Feb. 1, a highly anticipated event is right around the corner. While millions of Americans will celebrate the big game on Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 2, 2014, is also Groundhog Day, an annual holiday that celebrates a legendary rodent known far-and-wide.

Punxsutawney Phil

Every year on Feb. 2, a very famous, weather-predicting groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil emerges from his warm and comfy winter home at the crack of dawn from Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, PA., as the world looks on. While he holds no official degree, inquiring minds all across the land still want to know. Will Phil see his shadow or won't he? If it happens to be a sunny day and he spots his shadow, we are in for six more weeks of winter. But if the all-knowing groundhog doesn't see his shadow, spring is on the way!

Watch Phil's Prediction Live Online

In honor of the occasion, thousands of people flock to the small Pennsylvania town to witness Phil's prediction in action. While Phil is most certainly the main attraction, all sorts of activities and events will also take place in honor of the yearly event.

And just in case you can't be there in person, watch the event from Gobbler's Knob unfold live online between 5:45 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. (Eastern time) on Feb. 2, 2014. So what's it going to be, Phil?
